Literary Tshyak is based on Old Tshyak but after Old Tshyak had become a dead language, akin to Late Latin, Classical Arabic, Literary Chinese, Church Slavonic, etc. While much popular literature was composed in Middle Tshyak, a large amount of (often more serious) literature was composed in Literary Tshyak.

Literary Tshyak attempted to emulate Old Tshyak but often showed influence from later varieties of Tshyak such as Middle Tshyak. Examples of such influence included:

Adopting the Tshyak pronunciation of the day, except for not losing posttonic syllables, when read aloud
